5 /5 Tiana Winstead: A Hidden Gem in Carmel - Shelly Devine Is the Only Jeweler I Trust Now!
If youre looking for a jeweler who combines high-class craftsmanship, warmth, and affordability--look no further. Ive entrusted her with over 10 pieces of jewelry and each time, shes exceeded my expectations. From resizing vintage rings to replacing stones, estimating values, deep-cleaning heirlooms, and even delicate repairs--Shelly has done it all with incredible precision and care.
What sets Shelly apart is the way she makes you feel: welcomed, informed, and completely confident that your treasured pieces are in the best hands. Her pricing? Absolutely unbeatable. I checked multiple stores in Monterey--none came close in price or quality of service.
Shelly is also amazingly responsive. She updates me regularly, answers all my questions with patience. Her shop in Carmel-by-the-Sea feels like stepping into a cozy, coastal design studio--elegant yet approachable.
Pro tips for future clients:
* She does both custom work and restoration.
* Appointments are worth it--you get one-on-one attention.
* Shes incredibly honest--if a repair or design isnt worth doing, shell tell you.
* And yes, she can help you reimagine old or broken pieces into something beautiful.
Ive recommended Shelly to family, friends, and even strangers--and Ill keep doing so.
